Around 20 songs catered for in Midi-spot with song specific rhythm/style files...

Eeh.. I don't really understand? At the moment there are 132 styles available, where most of them are based on an original songs. But only a few are NAMED after the actual songs (under Song Styles), since that was not a succes in our homemarket Scandinavia. But go into "Style Disks" at click on the files or the mp3 demo's and you will understand that most of our "Standard Styles" are based on original songs as well, just with some creative names.

Regarding Technics unfortunatly it's a long time since it paid off for us programming for these keybaords. We never used any short cuts, Style Converters etc because of the catastrophal results these programs give, so every brand (keyboard) is actually programmed and not converted. After starting the cooperation with http://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/index.php?action=ProductCatalog&category_id=5006
and http://music.yamaha.com/productProduct.html?hierarchyId=1&groupId=21&productId=118 (scroll down) today we only produce styles and specific Midifiles in Tyros and PSR9000 formats, only GM and GS smf are exceptions. XG will also be available ASAP.

But Midi Spot will never prioritate having MANY files. Our philosophy has always been making the RIGHT stuff, and in high quality. Making sure that all chord variations sound right. That's why our styles often include 16 midi tracks and not just the 8 tracks you can do on the keyboard itself, just like the internal Tyros styles etc...
